Book Review: Departures by Robin Jones Gunn


     Christy Miller and Sierra Jensen both have one thing in common: They both are dealing with friend problems, boy problems, and emotional freak-outs.  Christy is simply unsure about her feelings toward her “friend” Matt.  Just friends or something much more cherished? She hopes that in the short weekend her family is visiting her hometown; she can sort through her feelings enough to enjoy her vacation. Sierra wonders if she is the only girl who has not yet begun to like boys, and if she should or should not. After a fun vacation with friends, that all might quickly change for Sierra.
    I thought this book was very cute. A fairly predictable plot, but with enough different “bumps” that it was still totally unique.  I loved the two characters and their descriptions, as well as the untimely “meeting” the two had. I agreed {for the most part} with their dating/courting philosophy and would likely recommend this to friends. I am eager to read the rest of these books, as I can hope are as well written as this one. Overall, I hope this review has helped you see that these characters and the story are beautifully written, as well as appropriate for girls of all ages!
